A rechargeable electric salt and pepper grinder set with 110ml capacity per grinder, six coarseness settings, and an LED light that shines on the food while you grind. One-handed operation is the practical argument: twisting a manual grinder takes two hands, which you do not have when one is holding a pan or a spoon. Six coarseness levels cover fine table salt through cracked pepper for a steak crust. The 110ml capacity is larger than most electric grinders, so refilling is occasional rather than constant. USB rechargeable rather than eating AA batteries, which is what kills most electric grinders' usefulness. Best fit: anyone who cooks regularly, and gift lists for people who already own the pans.

Frequently asked questions
Can I put anything besides salt and pepper in them?
Dry peppercorns, coarse salt, and dry spice blends work. Anything oily, damp, or sticky will gum up the ceramic burr, so skip wet herb blends and flavored salts with moisture.
How often do they need charging?
Weeks of normal home cooking per charge. They charge over USB, so topping them up is the same habit as any other small rechargeable.
How do I refill them?
The top opens for filling. The 110ml capacity is larger than most electrics, so most people refill every few weeks rather than constantly.
Are they loud?
You hear the motor, but it runs for a couple seconds at a time. It is comparable to a small electric toothbrush rather than anything disruptive.
